SPREADS

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Processing applications for spreads​

Spreads are foods that are applied, generally with a knife, onto bread, crackers and similar foods. A spread is used to enhance the flavour or texture of the food, which may be considered bland without it.

A sandwich spread is a spreadable condiment that goes inside a sandwich and is typically used as an accompaniment for more solid ingredients. Examples include dairy spreads such as soft cheeses and plant-derived spreads such as hummus, an Eastern Mediterranean dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas.​​
